SysVAD - UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices timeout after approx eight minutes

[Mr. INTJ]

I can't seem to get any of the driver samples to install on my test machine. The README.md file in the SysVAD sample says:

First, the base INF, ComponentizedAudioSample.inf, has to be installed.
To install it, open a Command Prompt window as administrator on the target computer,
then navigate to your driver package folder and enter the following command:
​

devcon install ComponentizedAudioSample.inf Root\Sysvad_ComponentizedAudioSample​

The output:

Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for Root\Sysvad_ComponentizedAudioSample from Y:\ComponentizedAudioSample.inf.
(there's an approx eight minute timeout here)
devcon.exe failed.


I built the devcon sample so I could step through, figure out where it's failing, and look at GetLastError(). Here's where the failure is:

if (!UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices(nullptr, hardwareId, infFullPath, INSTALLFLAG_FORCE, &reboot))
{
// The error code from GetLastError() is 0x000005b4 (ERROR_TIMEOUT)


For context, cmdInstall(...) is called, and succeeds until the very last step, which calls cmdUpdate(...). The code shown above is from the cmdUpdate function.

Here's what gets written to SetupAPI.log:

Can anyone shed some light on this?
